I don’t think he was managing them either. Also, it’s common for fiduciary managers to make moves or trades, even go all cash, without investor consent on each move. I worked for a firm that did just that, for far lesser clients than Senators.
This is my understanding. The client gives a general idea of what they want like about 60/40 stocks and bonds but the portfolio of fully run by the manager.
I wouod find it hard to believe that with the size of her portfolio there wouldnt be significant dialogue. That type of business relationship also creates plausible deniability for the client that has inside knowledge.

Significant accountability, yes. Routine dialog might include trade notifications (which can be easily ignored), detailed monthly statements, meetings maybe 1-2 times a year. Give accountability and results, and the conversations can be minimal.
I get that a legitimate operation would do that. But what I'm saying is it creates the environment to enable the fraud if one were wanting to engage in it.
